What's happening in my kitchen

Last week was meatfree week - which didn't mean much to me because every week is meatfree week for me - but I've been trying to many new recipes I thought I would share with you some of my favourites:

Oh She Glows Raw pad thai - this is basically a delicious salad slathered in peanut sauce which is just delicious to me. I'm a bit sad to be heading into autumn because I eating cold and raw salads is no longer as appealing as it was a few months ago.

Smitten Kitchen's Stuck Pot Rice - this is such comforting food to me. It's filling and feels so deliciously nourishing. And then there are the crunchy pieces of rice - DELICIOUS.

Smitten Kitchen's Red Kidney Bean curry - this is another one of my lunch staples. It has so much ginger, which really helps my stomach to settle down and think about its actions (instead of being a rogue operator and hating me). It's tomato-y and easy to make.

I would write the recipes here for you, but I literally follow these exactly so what's the point. If you're anything like me and menu planning is your least favourite thing to do - trust me on these things. They're delicious, easy, and have a Decoybetty stamp of approval.

These also make 33, 34, 35 and 36 of my life list to try 100 new recipes.

You may also notice that I write a lot about Smitten Kitchen and Oh She Glows recipes, these ladies NEVER let me down.

Alright, I'm off to menu plan and cry a little bit, because i'm afraid if I make any of these things again at this point of time I'll never want to eat them again, and they're too delicious for that.

Deidre....Well, we are far from being vegetarians around here--my crazy Dad always says that the main food groups are "meat, stuff that goes with meat, and dessert"--but I am glad that you have found some healthy, tasty recipes to cook, Friend!! Thanks for sharing!! ;)Love you later, Raelyn

There is a kitchen in Seattle that creates the most fantastic cauliflower soup, and I'm not a cauliflower fan. It is so thick and silky it makes me want to cry! (Seriously, I teared up the last time I went and discovered they had made it that day) I would send you some if you were ..like, closer. ;)
